Here are a few of my sons wedding shots. He came to me and said hey dad i can't afford a wedding photographer, could you shoot the wedding for us. My choices were to either shoot the wedding as requested or pay for a real wedding photographer to do it, wither way i was footing the bill. I am not sure but I think I choose the wrong one. As much as I love photography I HATE WEDDINGS, the pressure to get it right is immense. My greatest fear is that my daughter is going to come to me and say hey dad this guy is the one and could you do us a huge favor. I think i will work some OT and pay someone this time around.

Interests:Event photography, candids, getting photos of people at their best.

Very nicely done! Only niggling critique is the hard, direct flash. Get a light stand, a shoot-thru umbrella, and a reflector, then fire up CLS, and you can soften and balance that light really well. Also, the white balance appears a little on the cool side. Who knows - maybe you'll give Joe Buissink a run for his money

==========================================================
Digital: D610 backed up by a D1x. Quoted from an unknown source by a fellow planeteer, "Never get rid of a working D1x." I've got to agree.

Film: N90s, F3, F100, F4s, C330s. A few lenses.

Why film photography? I like shooting with the equipment. 6x6 Velvia slides from a C330 have an appeal all their own.

Why automated 35mm/Digital cameras? Event photography is about capturing moments. It often requires quick response. Well done automaton can be your friend or your enemy. It all depends on knowing what it can and can't do. "A man's got to know his (camera's) limitations." paraphrasing Dirty Harry...

Oh not me, i hated every bit of the shoot, weddings are not my bailiwick. Ill stick with outdoors, nature, and landscapes.
